X4

Not sure why people rave about the Xteink X4. It's an interesting enthusiast's device, but it doesn't even have a frontlight. I wouldn't recommend it as Baby's First E-Reader. Clara BW is a really great choice for the price. You can get a GlowLight 4 used for a really great price, but you have to tw

i have read so many books on my smaller ereaders (former palma owner, own both the Xteink X4 and X3, as well as an Obook5). so long as you're okay with reading on the smaller screen, it's great to have something that's always in your pocket / bag / purse / on you in some way. Especially with the X4

Yes I own both. Xteink X4 is a e reader device and it is meant for reading ebooks. The screen is brighter, more contrast, its size is ergonomic enough to hold and press jts button. M5 Paper S3 is an eink device and it can support many other use-cases than reading ebooks. It has touch screen but the

Seconding the posts suggesting looking at second-hand readers - e-readers have fragile screens but otherwise it’s tech that holds up well, so a second-hand Kindle or Kobo or PocketBook that is in a decent shape (the screen is intact) will be fine for this purpose. Even very old ones (15 years old) s

The FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and Piracy subs have megathreads where you can find websites to get ebooks from. I suggest you check those out. From what I've seen, colored e-readers aren't recommended since they have a poorer tech quality. Complaints of text being less sharp and more blurry compared to non c

There is a very small no frills relatively new "independent" 4.3 inch e-reader that is getting a lot of traction lately among those who like to tinker with gadgets. The Xteink 4 is definitely not for everyone and has no front light or audio, no touchscreen (just buttons), or any marketplace for that

Yes it's a very cheap, very pocketable, very basic (no backlight, touchscreen, or store) Chinese-made e-reader. I first saw it on this sub. It's called the Xteink X4.

TBH, I'm after a front-lit one, but I heard the next one is gonna be Android, which I don't need. I already have the Palma and Note Air 5C for that. I just want a small e-reader for my bag/pocket. I was on the fence about getting the X4 because of no front light, but I finally bought one. I also got

Cheapest: Xteink X4. It'll do what you want, but is 4". Roughly $50 shipped on aliexpress. Fails on the night reading requirement since it doesn't have a built-in light. But it's the cheapest. Highest value: TCL Nxtpaper 70plus. It's a just released $400 smartphone with e-reader mode you can get for

I use a red light by Block Blue Light, I feel it’s less noticeable than a warm light and doesn’t disturb sleep. Check out the Xteink X4, it’s a small e reader (no backlight). I have a kindle but hate backlight at night.
